Psalm 83

The Message Bible MSG

1 God, don't shut me out; don't give me the silent treatment, O God.

2 Your enemies are out there whooping it up, the God-haters are living it up;

3 They're plotting to do your people in, conspiring to rob you of your precious ones.

4 "Let's wipe this nation from the face of the earth," they say; "scratch Israel's name off the books."

5 And now they're putting their heads together, making plans to get rid of you.

6 Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,

7 Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia and the Tyrians,

8 And now Assyria has joined up, Giving muscle to the gang of Lot.

9 Do to them what you did to Midian, to Sisera and Jabin at Kishon Brook;

10 They came to a bad end at Endor, nothing but dung for the garden.

11 Cut down their leaders as you did Oreb and Zeeb, their princes to nothings like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12 With their empty brags, "We're grabbing it all, grabbing God's gardens for ourselves."

13 My God! I've had it with them! Blow them away! Tumbleweeds in the desert waste,

14 charred sticks in the burned-over ground.

15 Knock the breath right out of them, so they're gasping

16 for breath, gasping, "God."

17 Bring them to the end of their rope, and leave them there dangling, helpless.

18 Then they'll learn your name: "God," the one and only High God on earth.

New Living Translation NLT

1 O God, do not be silent! Do not be deaf. Do not be quiet, O God.

2 Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies? Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?

3 They devise crafty schemes against your people; they conspire against your precious ones.

4 “Come,” they say, “let us wipe out Israel as a nation. We will destroy the very memory of its existence.”

5 Yes, this was their unanimous decision. They signed a treaty as allies against you—

6 these Edomites and Ishmaelites; Moabites and Hagrites;

7 Gebalites, Ammonites, and Amalekites; and people from Philistia and Tyre.

8 Assyria has joined them, too, and is allied with the descendants of Lot. Interlude

9 Do to them as you did to the Midianites and as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.

10 They were destroyed at Endor, and their decaying corpses fertilized the soil.

11 Let their mighty nobles die as Oreb and Zeeb did. Let all their princes die like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12 for they said, “Let us seize for our own use these pasturelands of God!”

13 O my God, scatter them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind!

14 As a fire burns a forest and as a flame sets mountains ablaze,

15 chase them with your fierce storm; terrify them with your tempest.

16 Utterly disgrace them until they submit to your name, O LORD .

17 Let them be ashamed and terrified forever. Let them die in disgrace.

18 Then they will learn that you alone are called the LORD, that you alone are the Most High, supreme over all the earth.
